PostalEASE Enrollment Period For FEHB, FSA Extended

Postal workers will be able to make FEHB elections using PostalEASE employee self-service through Jan. 13, 2009, the Postal Service has announced. These extended-deadline elections through PostalEASE are not available by phone.

“Postal employees can use PostalEASE employee self-service on LiteBlue, Blue and at employee kiosks,” according to a Dec. 31 USPS News Link story, “to make some belated open season elections for the [FEHB] and Flexible Spending Accounts programs.” 

Employees will be able to make decisions after Jan. 13, but they will have to mail or fax a completed FEHB Worksheet to the Human Resources Shared Service Center (HRSSC) to do so. 

On Dec. 8, the day that the FEHB Open Season was to end, the Office of Personnel Management instructed agencies in the federal program to extend the enrollment period through Jan. 31.
